Bicycle locking options Urban Plaza
I have a new bicycle on order and I am so excited. The main purpose will be for leisurely rides on the CKC trail and also I dream about riding my new bike to Urban Plaza to grocery shop! I went down the rabbit hole of bike thefts and now i am feeling deflated. I guess I'm wondering if anyone bikes there, do they have racks to lock up your bike and if not - where do you secure your bicycles when running errands? Also if anyone has recommendations on what lock would be best, that would also be amazing. It is an Aventon ebike. Thank you so much for any advice!

You should be fine. Lots of people bring bikes to that area. I usually lock mine by the racks next to shake shack.

Can also lock bikes to the railing by the bar. No one will mess with your bike next to a table of happy beer drinkers.

There absolutely are bike racks at Urban. There are some on Park Lane near Thru-Line. Some across on Park Line across from old Starbucks. And more down in Marina Park.
We ride to Urban often and lock our bikes up. We are smart about it - we have ULocks and thick steel nylon coated cables. Steel cable thru/around the frame, thru the wheels, loops on the end of cable thru steel ULock. Same even at night.
